As an Angband fanatic, I know a ton about the Tolkien weapons. Okay, Aglachel was forged by èol in Gondolin from meteoric iron. It is a cool weapon. Glamdrig, Orcrist, and Sting WERE made in Gondolin for the Goblin wars as it says in the Hobbit when they found them from the trolls. My personal favorites however are:
Ringil, which smote seven fearsom blows on Morgoth himself by Fingolfin Zarcuthra, the biggest sword on Middle Earth, made by Celebrimbor Aeglos, the frost spear of Gilgalad Arundil, previously called Narsil, which chopped off Sauron's hand Beat those! |

Glamdring. It must have been a great sword indeed for gandalf to chose it above all other swords he had acsess too.

Well, it might just be because he already had Narya and wanted a weapon that was already associated with fire, as opposed to Orcrist which is more frost related(at least in Angband)

It's surprising that he didn't already have one since he'd been in ME so long already. Maybe it was an exceptionally exquisite sword, or maybe he was just ready for a change.

Welcome Varda. Interesting choice of name, "Varda 'from-Mount-Everwhite'". Why did you choose it?

How about Morgoth's Grond for a weapon. Sauron's Grond wasn't really a combat weapon but a seige weapon. Anduril, also and interesting story. Forged as Narsil in the first age by Telchar, the same dwarf who forged Angrist, the knife that Beren used to cut the silmaril from Morgoth's crown. Another good weapon, Angrist could cut iron...

but Sauron wasn't invisible when he had it.
maybe it gave Sauron so much power because the ring had almost all Sauron's powers, so he could use the ring better. |

Maybe if you learn to master the ring you can harness its power to kill things and you are only invisible if you choose to be?

I know I'm going to regret asking this but...is 'Angband' some sort of RPG or message board or something (besides the evil land in Tolkien's writings, I mean)?

But the Ring is still really powerful and you could control all the other rings so all the other kindreds Anyway I fancy Legolas's bow and quiver especially with the arrows of Lothlorien

I guess the ring didn't have such a power, but it did gave Sauron lots of powers and skills becuase he got in to this ring almost all his power.

Too many rings and powers in that Radagast!
What actual powers did the rings of the Nazgul give to them coz you seem to know a lot of ringlore
